so.....after more than one person's correction, the author of this story series refused to modify the title. Na wa. My dear, the title of a story is pretty much as important as the story itself. If a title is poor, I won't be inclined to read the story, because it gives me the impression that the story would be ridden with errors which, except I'm the story's editor, is not my headache to correct. You might want to take another look at your title and make the necessary correction. |

senbonzakurakageyoshi:senbonzakurakageyoshi, thank you for you lengthy comment... I must let you know that I am quite aware of the said 'error' of using 'lose' instead of 'loss', on the title but I want to believe that you are not a literary person... Coz if you are, you would have heard of some words like LITERARY STYLE, LITRARY LICENSE, or even DICTION... Its not an error, its intentional... Ask Ayei Kwei Armah writer of THE 'BEAUTYFUL' ONES ARE NOT YET BORN... He understands what I did there. 2 Likes |

LOSS OF VIRGINITY: AN EARLY MISTAKE CHAPTER 5 The sun was setting as I stared out my bedroom window. The sky was a breathtakingly beautiful shade of pink as the sun faded out of sight on the horizon. I let a loud sigh escape my lips as I thought about my day at school. I still couldn't decipher the mixed signals Adams had been sending me. Maybe there was a man code to crack to understand this type of behaviour? After the little incident in the janitor's closet and the verbal warning from the bitch squad, I hadn't seen Adams for the rest of the day. He tried to tell me he liked me and denied Tiffany and Jessica's seductive advances; indicating I was more than just a conquest. But then, just when I thought maybe something could happen between us, he turned around and proved me wrong once again. I walked over to my bed and flopped down with frustration. Ever since Friday night, I couldn't seem to get this stupid boy out of my head. I mean, sure, he took my virginity away, but that still did not reserve him a spot in my heart! Any guy who could treat a girl with such disrespect deserves nothing more than to be punched right in the face. 'TICK' The sound of something hard hitting glass interrupted my thoughts as I rolled my head to the side and looked at nothing but the night sky through my window. Must of just been my imagination, I thought to myself as I went back to staring up at the ceiling; willing the answers to be written there or praying for a divine intervention. 'TICK' The sound came again, causing me to spring up into a sitting position. I stared out my window as if expecting to see something. But, frankly, I was on the second floor so what was I intending to see? A blind woodpecker, who couldn't tell the difference between glass and wood, perched on my window sill chipping away at the glass? Yah, I highly doubt it! At that precise moment, the sound came again for a third time. 'TICK' Only this time, I had managed to see what was causing it as I watched a little pebble hit my window before gravity had taken over and forced it back down to the ground. I sat on my bed completely dumbfounded, staring outside with narrowed eyes. It took a forth pebble to tap against the glass; jarring me from my confused trance. I jumped to my feet and ran toward the window, not exactly sure what I was looking for. At first, for no particular reason, I looked up to the dark night sky which was covered in bright stars. Eventually, my eyes found their way to the ground, deciding pebbles' falling from the sky was maybe a little too far-fetched. It took a couple of seconds for my eyes to adjust to the darkness, while slowly I began to see the outlines of everything in the yard. I could see every tree, bush, vehicle, person, flower-Wait! Back it up a second! I thought to myself, A person?! What is a person doing in my backyard? I looked down again, Oh. My. God! They're staring up at me! I forced myself to calm down while trying to convince myself it was probably one of my brother's friends. They, most likely, didn't know that Richard and I had switched rooms a few weeks ago. I concentrated harder on the outline of the tall, wide being before realizing right away who it was. Adams? I stared down at him with a wide-eyed gaze. My heart skipped a beat as I gazed down at him lustfully. Although I wanted so badly to hate him and wished so deeply that he didn't have this power over me, it was impossible. No matter what I wanted, or what I wished, every time I saw him he always managed to leave me breathless and wanting him. I shook that feeling off as I considered my options. My first thought was to shut my bedroom light off and go hide in my bed, under the covers until he gave up and left. I would have done it too if it weren't for the fact that he had already seen me and was waving fiercely like a caffeine-crazed crack head. Plus, I had a few not-so-nice words I wanted to confront him with. I opened my bedroom window and stuck my head out as I began to whisper loudly down to him. "What do you want?!" "Come down here!" He whispered back. "Why?!" "Because I need to talk to you!" "Well what if I don't want to talk to you?" "Please just let me explain!" He was looking up at me with pleading eyes. If it had been any other guy, or if the past couple days hadn't happened, I probably wouldn't have even went to my window in the first place. And I definitely would never even think about doing what I was just about to do. Except it wasn't just any other guy, it was Adams. And the past couple days had happened. Plus, as much as I hated to admit, I couldn't say no because Adams already had me wrapped around his finger; ready to pursue any wish he commanded. I rolled my eyes before sticking my hand out and pointing my index finger at him in such a way of saying, 'one second'. I looked up at the large tree which towered over our house. I wondered how my brother managed to scale it in order to sneak out on countless occasions. This tree was actually the reason as to why Richard and I were forced to switch rooms in the first place. My brother repeatedly snuck out of the house using the tree and ran off to parties and other forbidden places, according to my parents. They had decided that the room with the latter- like-tree would be better suited for me, seeing as I was a loner anyways. Where was I going to run off to, the library? Or out for a midnight slurpe? I saw a branch that was only inches away from the left side of my window and decided that would probably be the easiest escape route. I climbed out my window and crawled onto the branch, finding my way to the bottom of the tree with ease. I was about three feet from the ground when I felt Adams' arms grasp my waist. My stomach fluttered the same way it always did when he touched me and my heart sped up. He lifted me up in the air and then placed me gently on my feet. I still stumbled a little bit, but that was because my knees had gone weak and rubbery from being near him. The second I caught my balance I turned around to face him, anger from this afternoon still lingering inside me. Suddenly, without any second thoughts, I pushed him hard in the chest with every ounce of strength that I had. He must have been expecting it because, even with all the strength I had in me, he had barely even flinched. I tried again and again, and then one more time. Each time I got the same result, which was nothing! A half smirk had taken over Adams' face as he watched me in amusement. I huffed loudly as I finally gave up. I folded my arms against my chest and glared at him. The smirk finally faded from his face as he took a step closer to me. "Look Jane-" I cut him off before he could go any farther, "Stop Adams! "Just stop." "But-" he tried again. "But nothing!" To my surprise my voice was stern, "You did it to me again! You just left me sitting there; you left me with those bitches!" "I know...and I'm-" "Sorry?" I asked. "You're always sorry, well guess what Adams! "Sorry is mean nothing if you don't actually mean them!" I watched his eyes lower from looking at me to staring at the ground. He occupied his hands by playing with the hem of his shirt. I had so many other things I wanted to say to him. I wanted to keep yelling at him and telling him exactly how all of that made me feel. I wanted to so badly, but as I stood there watching him a knot had formed in my stomach and all I wanted to do was comfort him. Wait! I shook my head, confused by my own thoughts. Comfort him? He was the one who was supposed to be comforting me and yet there I was, near seconds away from apologizing to him. Seriously, how did he manage to turn all this around on me and make me feel like the bad guy? I walked up to him and placed my hand on his shoulder as I watched his head slightly lift up. We both just stood there; staring into each other's eyes. We stayed like that for a while until Adams finally broke the silence. "Look Jane, I know I messed up..." he said before adding, "Again. But I want to make it up to you and that's why I came here." "Oh yah?" I removed my hand from his shoulder, once again folding my arms. "And how do you plan on doing that?" "It's a surprise..." CHAPTER 6 FOLLOWS IMMEDIATELY... |

LOSS OF VIRGINITY: AN EARLY MISTAKE CHAPTER 6 "Don't peek!" He said for the hundredth time. "I'm not..." I whined. Even if I attempted to open my eyes I couldn't see anything, there was a blindfold covering them. "How much longer?" I asked. I was starting to get a little impatient. "Not much farther, just keep walking." "It's kind of hard to stop when you're pretty much dragging me behind you!" About an hour earlier... When I finally gave in to , we got into his 2009 GMC truck and he put a blind fold over my eyes before we drove away from my house. Well not exactly my house, seeing as he parked a block away in an attempt to keep my parents oblivious to him coming over and kidnapping me in the middle of the night. My parents were never around and yet the one night they did come home, Adams had decided to show up at my house. Although, I highly doubt they would even notice my disappearance because, even though they were home at the moment, they were still completely caught up in work. We drove for about half an hour before we finally came to a stop. I listened to him as he got out of the truck and came over to my side; helping me down to the ground. Now, for the past twenty minutes we have been walking along a trail and up a hill. Well, I figured so anyways because that's what it felt like; I could tell we were walking up a hill and I could also feel the dirt under my shoes. Adams' fingers were wrapped around mine while his other arm was wrapped around my waist; helping me to dodge all of the obstacles in our path. I was still so frustrated with him because he didn't only leave me once...but twice and yet it was impossible to stay mad at him for a long period. By rights, I should have been callous with him and his random mood swings. "Okay, now stop here." He interrupted my thoughts. "And whatever you do, don't move!" His voice was so urgent and so serious that I knew it wasn't a good idea to even think about moving. I heard the sound of something solid hitting the ground on a lower level than where I was standing. "Adams!?" I held my breath. "I'm fine," he chuckled; although his voice came from somewhere below me. "I had to jump and I didn't think my feet hitting the ground were going to be so loud." I felt his arms wrap around my waist as he lifted me into the air. I still couldn't see anything but the blackness of the blind fold and it sucked! I mean, did he honestly find it necessary to blindfold me? I hated not being able to see. I felt my feet begin to touch the ground as Adams turned my body around so that he was standing behind me. His arms were still tightly wrapped around my hips and my waist. I felt his breath on my neck which sent a shiver up my spine. He began to whisper lightly into my ear as the shivers escalated throughout my entire body. "Okay Jane..." he began, "Before I show you this, you have to promise not to tell anyone about it." I tried to speak, but when I opened my mouth no words came out so instead I just nodded. He was still breathing against my neck, making it impossible to pay attention to anything else other than the way it was making my body feel. I could feel his breath inching closer to my neck before his lips pressed gently against my skin. Fireworks instantly erupted inside my head. A soft moan escaped my lips as he continued to kiss my neck. I felt him remove his arms from around my stomach as they made their way up to the back of my head. He pursued with his mouth, grazing his lips against my neck while his fingers untied the blindfold. I can't tell you the precise moment the blindfold fell off my face because, even after it was gone, my eyes stayed closed. I was so caught up with the way Adams' lips filled my body with pleasure that I no longer cared about the surprise. I turned around to face him as my arms wrapped around his neck. His arms then snaked around my waist and his hands rested on my behind. He glanced over my head at what, I'm assuming, was the surprise he brought me here for. "Aren't you going to look?" He whispered to me, staring down into my eyes. "No...I don't care...I just want to-" I stopped talking as I stared up at his full set of perfect lush lips. He pulled me hard against his body as if knowing exactly what I was about to say. I tightened my arms around his neck and our lips connected fiercely. We stayed embraced like this for awhile, although it still felt too short before he pulled away. I groaned in protest, trying to pull him back to me, but he seemed pretty content on that being the end of the kiss. "Jane, just turn around and look." He begged. I sighed loudly, not wanting the kissing to end and definitely not caring what it was he wanted me to see so badly. I rolled my eyes at him before finally turning around. I froze the second I looked around at the incredible, stunning sight before me. We were standing high, high up on the cliff of a huge hill, staring down at the Town of McLasgidi. We were so high up; McLasgidi looked like nothing more than a city for Polly Pockets. The moon was shining brightly, reflecting off the ocean that surrounded the small town. The most astonishing thing about it all was the stars. Being so far away from town, so far from civilization, the stars shone so brightly that we didn't even need any sort of light source to see each other. It was magical. I felt Adams shoulder rub against mine as he came to stand beside me. I stood still, staring out at the beautiful sight before us. "What do you think?" He asked. "How...How did you find this place?" "I went for a hike one day and stumbled across it, I come here a lot...You know, to think and what not. It's kind of like my secret place, that I wanted to...Um...share with you." He spoke lightly. I didn't reply to him, there was no need to. I knew he could tell exactly what I was thinking just by the look on my face. I was stunned speechless as I peered out into the beautiful night sky, knowing nothing in the world would ever compare to this moment; this exact moment in time. I looked down and saw a big fluffy blanket that was laid on the ground and beside it was a small stereo. "What are you planning to happen here?" I looked upward from the little set up and eyed him curiously. "You know, just a little romantic getaway..." He smiled as he walked over to the Stereo and turned it on. A song that I instantly recognized began playing out of the speakers. 'All of you' by John Legend. The soft lyrics echoed through my ears as I stared at him in shock, 'this was one of my favourite songs, how did he know?' He walked over to me, offering me his hand. "Would you like to dance, my lady?" He faked an English accent trying to sound like a man from the 1800's. "I...I don't know how to..." I admitted. "I'll teach you." He said as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me against the hardness of his body. I then wrapped my arms around his neck as he pulled me in even closer. I rested my head against his chest and we began to sway back and forth, slowly, to the beat of the song. "So, am I forgiven yet?" Adams whispered in my ear as we continued to dance. "You're getting there." I lied, knowing in my heart I had forgiven him the moment he came to my window tonight. Adams bent down and pressed his lips against mine as the song came to an end. We ended up moving over to the blanket and lying down. The rest of the night we sat there staring up at the sky and talking. Just talking! We talked about everything; from our families to books to past memories. Weirdly enough, we had a lot in common; from music preferences to different novels we've read. "What?! Adams reads comics?!" I almost yelled as I erupted into laughter. "What's the big deal? You just admitted to reading them too!" He looked insulted. "Yah, but that's me. I mean, it's expected from me." I laughed louder. "Whatever, you're just mad because Superman could take Batman any day." He folded his arms across his chest as he looked over at me. "You wish! Honestly, how many times has Batman kicked Superman's ass?!" "Yah...Only when Batman uses Kryptonite and that's pretty much cheating!" "Well what is Batman suppose to use? He is only human after all." I stated as I looked up into the sky finally realizing that the sun was beginning to rise. I jumped up into a sitting position. Adams quickly turned to look over at me with worried eyes. "What's wrong?!" He asked. "I need to get home...Like now! My parents are going to kill me if they notice I'm not home!" I quickly got up off the ground. Adams muttered, 'crap,' under his breath as he gathered everything up off the ground before we scurried off the cliff and down the hill. We managed to make it to my house within twenty minutes this time. I turned toward Adams and quickly gave him a peck on the cheek. I was just about to run off when he grabbed my arm and pulled me back toward him. Our lips connected and at first I didn't kiss him back, but soon his kisses became more urgent. Our lips began to move in unison as I grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer to me, deepening the kiss. A couple of seconds later I pushed him away and my breath came in short, shallow gasps as I ran off toward my house. I quickly climbed back up the tree and stumbled into my bedroom. Relief washed over me when I noticed my door was still shut, indicating my parents hadn't come looking for me yet. I flopped down on my bed, breathing deeply as I thought about my completely perfect night with Adams TO BE CONTINUED... 2 Likes |

Re: Lost Of Virginity; An Early Mistake by Kelvin3028(m): 11:45pm On Jun 05, 2015 |
ihedinobi2:Artistic license (also known as dramatic license, historical license, poetic license, narrative license, licentia poetica, or simply license) is a colloquial term, sometimes a euphemism, used to denote the distortion of fact, alteration of the conventions of grammar or language, or rewording of pre-existing text made by an artist in the name of art. |

ihedinobi2:Apparently, a handy talisman some lazy writers have invoked to justify glaring and unforgivable mistakes, instead of eating humble pie and admitting their errors.

Re: Lost Of Virginity; An Early Mistake by ihedinobi2: 10:56am On Jun 06, 2015 |
whitemosquito: I see. I was thrown momentarily when I saw the term. In any case, one thing about artistic creativity is that the rules don't hold indefinitely. That's why the English language, for instance,sounds and looks way different today than it did even only last century alone. Shakespeare whom we practically worship today pretty much obliterated conventions in his day, inventing whole new words and even manners of delivery for poetry and whatnot. For another example, "betterment" was not a word at all until Soyinka (I think, or was it Achebe?) used it in his works and had to defend it to literary authorities too. Today, it's common language. So I think we should probably cut literary artists some slack. If the overall effect is brilliant then perhaps the questionable details are pointing to new realities. Not that I've read the work involved here. Just my two cents. I've missed you, darling. And what's "bubba", biko? I hope we hang out again soon. If it doesn't happen soon, the day we do, I wee come and carry you myself and anybody who says a word will sleep in the trunk of my car that day. 1 Like |

LOSS OF VIRGINITY: AN EARLY MISTAKE CHAPTER 7 The lunch bell rang, awakening me from my dreamless sleep. I was never one for sleeping in class, even as much as I disliked history I would never take advantage of a chance to learn something new. Though, as hard and uncomfortable as my seat and desk were, I couldn't manage to keep my eyes open or my head off the desk as I slept all the way through Mathematics class. I guess I have nobody to blame, but myself, it wasn't exactly smart of me to stay up all night with Adams on the cliff and then go to school without the tiniest bit of sleep. I probably could have faked sick and slept half the day away, but I was far too excited to go back to school and see Adams. The only problem was that it was nearly lunch time and I still hadn't seen him once. Although that is understandable, seeing as he is a senior and none of our classes are remotely the same. I pulled myself out of my desk before stretching my arms up high in the air and yawning. I grabbed my books off my desk as I headed for the door; trying to make a quick exit. Obviously, I wasn't fast enough as Mr. Ogazie came to stand in front of me and blocked my path. "Miss Blaze" he folded his arms across his chest, looking at me with impatience. "Did my class bore you?" "Oh, no Mr. Ogazie. Not at all." I lied, "I just, well, I'm just a little bit tired today and I apologize for that. I promise it won't happen again." "Very well," he replied. "Don't let it happen again because I will not tolerate that kind of behaviour in my class. You are excused." He waved his hand dismissively. I ran out the door before he could change his mind and send me to detention. I went to my locker to drop off my books. I decided I was going to do a little tour around the school in search of Adams. It took awhile, but I finally found him standing outside the front entrance of the school. He was standing under a tree talking to Kevin and Tabitha. Tiffany and Jessica were lying on the grass, soaking up the sun. The butterflies in my stomach fluttered as my eyes fell on him; his perfect lean body was standing up with such straight posture. His dark brown hair was a perfect mess on top of his head and his dark brown eyes looked almost black from so far away. He also wore that sexy half smirk on his face. The kind that made a person look stuck up and yet it could melt any girl's heart; this girl's heart. All morning I couldn't stop thinking about how extraordinarily flawless my night had been. Every little detail about the night was beyond perfect. It was like a little fairy tale coming true in my own life. The handsome prince and the poor lonely girl, finally breaking out of her shell, as their love for each other continuously grew stronger. I couldn't wait to picture my happily ever after! I looked back up at Adams as my smile grew wider. I had never felt so happy in my life, actually feeling like I belonged somewhere and that someone cared about me. I began to wave at Adams as I continued to walk toward him while wondering how he hadn't noticed me yet. I narrowed my eyes as I watched Adams' pearl-white smile vanish from his face as his eyes fell upon me. Right away he turned his gaze away, looking back at his friends and trying to pretend like he hadn't seen me. I was only a few feet away from them when I froze on the spot, staring at Adams in utter disbelief. 'After everything that happened last night, after me forgiving him for the second time, he was doing this again?' I tried to comprehend the illogicality of the situation, 'He was honestly going to act as if nothing happened?' I felt a sharp pain in the bottom of my gut as my whole body began to heat up, I could honestly feel sweat begin to rise out of my pores. I stood there, staring at them while holding my breath. Well, not exactly holding my breath, it was more like I couldn't breathe altogether. "Hey Dude...Why is Richard's little sister smiling and waving at you?" I heard Kevin ask Adams. I was still frozen motionless; watching and listening to them. "Dude, she has some mad crush on me or something...It's kind of cute..." Adams lied, trying to laugh it off. "More like creepy!" Tabitha cut in and turned toward me, shooting darts at me with her eyes. "I mean look at her, staring at us like that...Creepy!" She said as she wrapped her arms around Adams' neck and pulled him closer to her. "Too bad for her though...you're mine!" She exclaimed as she pressed her lips against Adams'. That's when I finally turned my head away. I couldn't bear to see any more of this lewd display! It was weird how one second you could be the happiest person in the world and then in that exact second you could feel the complete opposite. I felt like a crashing ball had came flying down at me, smashing me into tiny bits and pieces. I always thought physical pain was bad; like it hurt, it really did...But physical pain was nothing compared to this. I couldn't breathe, my chest was burning and my stomach was clenching and causing me so much pain. I began to repeat the same five words in my head, 'I'm Not going to cry...' 'I'm Not going to cry...' 'I'm Not Going..........' But, I failed as I watched all my surroundings begin to grow blurry while my eyes filled up with water. I heard Tabitha, Tiffany and Jessica's laughter behind me as I began to run away. Waterfalls of hot angry tears rolled down my cheeks, making it impossible to see anything. I felt like I was going to pass out from the lack of oxygen. I couldn't breathe, but I continued to run anyway. I was just about to reach the steps that headed up to the school as I clenched my jaw shut, trying to force my cries down. I knew I couldn't stop the tears from flowing but I wasn't going to let the loud sobs escape my lips; not yet at least. Not until I was hidden somewhere away from everyone else. I felt my left foot hit the back of my right heel as I tumble to the ground; my knee's sliding across the hard concrete walkway. I could feel the concrete ripping through my jeans before pealing the skin off of my knees. At that moment, I shouted a loud cry of pain from the fall, the embarrassment, the betrayal and, ultimately, the heartache. I felt someone's arms wrap around my waist before pulling me up to my feet. "Are you okay, Jane?" A deep, sexy voice came from the person behind me. A voice I had never heard before and yet it made me forget all of my problems for that millisecond. I turned around to face him and, even though he was just a blurred image, I knew I didn't recognize him. My would-be saviour had short brown curly hair with sensitive dark brown eyes. He had a square set jaw and his face was completely clean cut. He wasn't anywhere near as muscular as Adams; I could tell he wasn't really into sports and just one of those naturally skinny guys with a little muscle tone. Tears were still flowing out of my eyes, which only made me that much more embarrassed. I could feel blood oozing out of my knees as I turned quickly away from the boy. I finished running up the stairs and into the school. I sprinted through the hallways, pushing anyone out of my way as I did so. I heard a few rude comments about how weird I was and how me and Richard were so different, which only caused me to cry harder. Finally, I made it to the girl's bathroom! I swung the door open and ran into a stall, slamming the door shut and locking it. There were a few girls in the bathroom doing their make-up in front of the mirrors. "Oh...my...God..." I could hear a girl whisper to her friends, "Did you see her pants, all full of blood? Poor girl, maturing a little late, ain't she?" "Eww!" One of her friends yelled as they all erupted into laughter. 'Oh Great!' I thought to myself, 'Things couldn't get any worse.' I stared at the stall door as the overwhelming feeling of depression began to set in. Not only did I have to deal with rumours going around school about me being 'Adams crazy stalker.' But, now everyone would be going around; saying that I got my period and that it leaked through! 'Honestly the blood is on my knees and legs, how would that be possible!' I just wanted to yell out, but I didn't. Just last week I was a 'nobody' and no one ever noticed me. No one talked behind my back and everything was fine! Now, I was pretty much in love with Adams and yet I meant nothing to him. Soon, there would be horrible rumours going around the entire school about me and I couldn't prevent it. 'I just wish everything would go back to normal!' I thought to myself as I put the toilet seat down and sat on top of it. I pulled my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. I rested my head on top of my bloody knees as my tears continued to flow down my face. Finally, I allowed my bitter sobs to escape my throat as I tried gulping down air between each cry. My tears leaked down my cheeks and I could taste the saltiness of them as they slipped into my mouth. CHAPTER 8 TO FOLLOW IMMEDIATELY 5 Likes |

LOSS OF VIRGINITY: AN EARLY MISTAKE CHAPTER 8 The bell rang once again, indicating lunch was now over as I wiped the wetness off my face using my long sleeved t-shirt. I reached down to the toilet paper dispenser pulling a piece of paper off before pressing it against my nose and blowing. I got up from the toilet seat in attempt to pull myself together and yet I felt so betrayed, so used. The exhaustion I felt from my lack of sleep mixed in with the heart shattering events that had just occurred now left my body in shock. I felt weak as I stood there reaching for the lock with a shaky hand. It took a couple tries before I could manage to get out of the stall and into the empty bathroom. Everyone was now in class - everyone except me and I intended to keep it that way. There was no way I was going to go back to class, at least not for the rest of the day. A decision I was quite content with and yet it was something that I would have never considered doing just a mere week ago. I managed to make my way through the school completely unseen, the hallways were deserted and eerily quiet, the only sound coming from the classes beyond the doors. Within a couple seconds I was outside the front doors, down the stairs, across the parking lot and walking down the sidewalk. I turned a corner as the school disappeared out of sight, leaving all my problems behind with it. I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket before scrolling through all three of my contacts and then clicking on my brother's name and pressing 'send a message'. 'Don't need a ride after school, I'm walking.' After I was done writing the message, I pressed 'send' and continued walking down the street in silence. Well, of course in silence, who else was I supposed to talk to? Myself? Yeah then they'd really have something to talk about! I have no friends, I've never had friends...and the first time anyone remotely my age even paid any attention to me it turned out to be some huge lie. Okay, stop thinking about Adams! I could tell myself that a million times but no matter how many times I think it, say it, or wish for it, it's not going to happen. He was on my mind, is on my mind and always will be on my mind. "Skipping school? That's kind of unlike you." The deep voice rang through my ears as the image of the guy who helped me up earlier flashed in my mind. I turned around to see a black SUV idling a couple feet away from me, a curly haired boy had his head stuck out the window looking at me. A cute smile was plastered to his face as he eyed me up and down. "Jump in." He said, waving his hand towards passenger's seat. "I'll give you a ride." "I don't know where I'm going..." I replied, because it was true, I didn't know where I was heading also I didn't know him and I couldn't just jump into anyone's vehicle. I paid attention to those after school specials 'Stranger Danger!' "Neither do I." "Yah but it's not just that." I folded my arms as I watched the SUV move slowly towards me, stopping .once I was standing right beside his driver's side door. "I don't know you and I'm not just going to jump in your car just because you helped me up from my fall this afternoon." "OH, you mean you actually noticed me helping you up." He spoke sarcastically with his dangerously sexy voice. "What's that supposed to mean!" I was offended by his tone of voice, even if every time he spoke I got goose bumps. "I mean, I've gone to school with you since grade one, Jane. Today was the first time you have ever acknowledged my existence!" This time he sounded offended, maybe even a little upset? I stared at him in disbelief as he began to speak again. "...and you still don't even recognize me." He shook his head and then continued. "Just jump in Jane...I promise I don't bite. Plus I'm pretty sure you need a good distraction right about now." I was hesitant at first, yet his voice was so inviting and he was right, I did need a distraction - something to get my mind off Adams and everything else that happened at school today. I shrugged my shoulders before walking around the SUV and jumping into the passenger's seat. I looked over at the boy as a smile of accomplishment appeared on his face. "I'm trusting you." I said while tossing my schoolbag in the backseat. "So don't try murdering me because I promise I'll come back to haunt you." I teased. "You...haunt me?" He chuckled, "Jane, you wouldn't even hurt a fly." "And how would you know?" I folded my arms across my chest and scrunched my face up trying to look insulted though I probably looked more constipated. The boy shifted the SUV into drive as we sped off down the road. The further we got away from the school, the better I began to feel but still I didn't ever want to go back. "I already told you, I've known you since grade one." His voice broke through my thoughts. "Yah, But I've never even talked to you, nor do I even remember ever seeing you around." "No, you haven't ever talked to me but that doesn't mean I've never tried to talk to you..." I was staring at him completely dazed as he just looked out the window, not even glancing at me as he spoke. Seriously, there is no way I've gone to school with this boy for so long and never noticed him. He was breathtaking with his cute smile, charming personality, captivating looks and arousing voice. "When...When have you tried to talk to me?" was all I could choke out. "When?!" He laughed, "All the time, for years I've tried to talk to you, but it was like you never noticed me, like you tried to block everyone and everything out. The only people in the whole school who have ever been able to get your attention were the teachers and your brother. If anyone else tried to talk to you...it was like you never noticed..." I shook my head, not allowing myself to believe him. "No..." I said, "People never noticed me. No one has ever even talked to me, they all just ignore me..." "Are you sure?" He asked, testing me. "Or was it you who was always ignoring other people...so focused on your books and school work that you just blocked everything else out." I sat there just staring at him, wondering if maybe he's not lying, if maybe that was true. "Here...I'll help refresh your memory." He said, while pulling into a parking lot to Trophy Mart and parking. He turned toward me obviously thinking the conversation had become too intense for driving. "Grade one - it was lunch time, and you pulled a peanut butter and jelly sandwich out. You stared at it in disgusted before saying, "EWWW. I hate P.B and J!" You got up from your desk all angry and I turned to you with my sandwich in my hand and said, "Here Jane...You can have my Baloney and mustard." But you walked right by me, like you hadn't even noticed, went and threw your sandwich in the garbage." I had no clue what he was talking about...at first, but then the memory came back to me. I remembered that was the day my parents had decided to try giving me a different kind of sandwich, but I hated P.B and J, at the time, I love it now. But anyways I remember stomping off to the garbage to throw it away, I heard a voice in the distance but I figured they were talking to someone else. "There were so many times I tried to talk to you Jane, there's a few times that really stick out." The boy continued. "Like in grade five - you cut your finger on a piece of glass while we were outside during recess. For some reason I always had a bunch of Band-Aids in my pockets, curtsey of my parents. I tried to offer you one but you ran to the teacher, completely ignoring me." Again the memory came to me and yet I figured the distant voice was being directed to someone else. "Then in grade eight - I noticed you were reading a batman comic, one of my favourites from the Hush volume. I was so surprised you read comics and that you were actually into that kind of stuff. You were sitting on the floor beside your locker, I was standing right next to you, trying to talk but you never even glanced up at me. I felt like I was talking to a wall." "Oh..." Was all I could say, I mean all these years, this boy had tried over and over to talk to me and I had never noticed. All these years I thought people just ignored me because I was different because I didn't fit into their groups and yet the whole time it was me who was ignoring them? "So...If I have been ignoring you all these years, then why did you keep trying to talk to me?" I asked him. "I don't know, I guess I just figured sooner or later you'd finally notice...and you did." I looked up at him with an arched eyebrow. I never noticed, he just told me. "Sort of..." He continued, "I mean today you actually acknowledged me when I helped you up...I think it's because of Adams, I mean ever since you and him, you've seemed to finally came out of your shell." "Me and Jane?" I laughed, "Don't you remember...I'm his crazy stalker." I said with annoyance. "No you aren't, I thought you two were hooking up...weren't you out all night with him last night?" My eyes bulged out, "How did you know?!" I pretty much yelled at him. "Are you stalking me?" I felt the need to jump out of the SUV and run away...fast. His next words left me frozen. "No...But Jane is my older brother." TO BE CONTINUED...

ihedinobi2:Nein, "sweetness". If you call yourself a writer-regardless of whether you're worthy of the title Or not- you take upon yourself the responsibility of upholding the tenets, ethics of Literature. So, Yes. I do have a responsibility to the god of English language. First. Before my readers. And part of that is making sure that I do not tout rubbish as literature.. It's also about precedence... I hoped you of all ppl would understand. What If some fan becomes inspired by my work and decides to start writing too, using my poor grammar as standard? So Im sorry If Im being hard, But writers must be held to higher standards. And Yea, you should hurry up and take me out again o before someone beats you to the cinema thing...Bubba. |

Essyprity: Hey!! Take a chill pill, alright I was expecting an update too bad it turned out this way. As for the pagination, it's not of his own making. Before a topic enters a new page it must have gotten a minimum number of replies, so you see it's non of his fault. I have a suggestion though, comment more so the number of replies will be on the increase. Once the page has the required number of posts, a new page springs up automatically. I've got popcorn here, care to join me as we wait 1 Like |
